Direct Democracy Ireland stands for: accountability and the power of recall. This means that TD’s and Councillors who go back on their mandate/ commitments should immediately lose their seat. We are fully convinced that when the voter is presented with this alternative system of authority in the upcoming elections. The people of Drogheda and South Louth will seize upon the opportunity to claw back
control of their own Town. Centralizing the power and decision making in County Hall, Dundalk will see Drogheda further marginalized. I will be your strong Voice for Drogheda, challenging and fighting for our services. Direct Democracy Ireland: will empower the people, we have one clear message “WE WANT TO CHANGE POLITICS” for the better, we want a referendum to have articles 47 & 48 reinstated to our constitution to return the power back to the Irish citizens. Direct Democracy Ireland does not have a ‘Whip System’ which all the established parties have, this has belittled many good local councilors to nothing more that party mouth pieces, It’s my view that when you elect a councilor they should represent the people not toe the party line. We believe that there are always alternative ways to get us out of this Crisis. At Council level as your representative I will resist any attempts to burden the ordinary person with taxes that are not of their making and fight for an increase in Services such as the Grants for Older People.
